People who read a lot: Do you ever wish a character in a book was real...

....and you could hang out IRL? What fictional character would you like to hang out with?

I’ve got a few:
1 - Roz, Tony, and Charis from The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood.
2 - Wexford and Burden (and their wives, and Wexford’s daughters) from the Ruth Rendell books.
3 - DCI Alan Banks from the Peter Robinson books. (Actually, I’d like to date him. I get a little bit jealous of the women he dates. Except Annie. I liked her, so if they got back together, that would be cool.)
4 - DS Barbara Havers and DI Thomas Lynley from the Elizabeth George books.

I definitely fell in love with Holden too. We would just smoke cigs and be cynical all day together ❤️🙄😒@luctoretemergo

@Fallflower And I'd tell him "do you realize what a fuss people have made over you!" :)

@luctoretemergo Holden? Meh.

When I was young, there was a YA author named M.E. Kerr who wrote books that I just loved. I wished (still wish) that the characters in her books were real.

@SmartKat It's awsome that your a "reader"....I used to love reading in my room as a kid w/my headphones on, etc. Now I'm just mentally lazy....
